Hi everybody,
Long time lurker, de facto newbie here. My build slot has been confirmed and so I am in the process of finalizing my spec. I have read pretty much all relevant threads and have a pretty good grasp on the spec (you could say the car is overspec’ed given the 70-80% road use), but the one thing I keep going back and forth on are the aerofoils.
From an aesthetics point of view I am torn depending on the angle you look at the car (I also simply admire the “original” look of the frame). From a benefit perspective I am unsure how much they add at typical non-highway speeds in relation to the added weight. Lastly I am unsure about how easy it is to „live“ with them, i.e. getting over speed bumps, kids standing on the from wing when parked in public, etc.
Would love to hear your thoughts/ experiences.
Thanks!
Phillip
